Amphibious operations (http://www.amphibiousoperations.com) continue to be a lynchpin of modern warfare. The ability to rapidly and effectively project power from sea to shore is a fundamental military capability, as shown most recently by Operation Unified Protector.

Amphibious Operations (http://www.amphibiousoperations.com) will provide an overview of current capabilities and requirements in the changing nature of amphibious operations and the latest developments in amphibious platforms and supporting technology including high speed ship to shore connectors, unmanned systems and mine countermeasures. Delegates can also attend an interactive workshop led by Dr Tim Benbow, Senior Lecturer at the Defence Academy on training the next generation of amphibious operations officer.

The Amphibious Operations media centre features exclusive podcasts with Patrick Spring, Programme Manager and Expeditionary Warfare Customer Advocate at the Naval Surface Warfare Centre Panama City and Col (ret) Vince Goulding, former US infantry Marine, and now Director of the Experiment Division at the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab.
